Benefits of Being a Medical Cannabis Patient

Overall, medical cannabis shows great promise in helping patients feel better without the sometimes-negative impact of traditional medications. In a survey of BPG patients, 85% said medical cannabis had far fewer adverse effects than their prescription medications; they also said that medical cannabis did a better job helping them manage the symptoms associated with their health conditions.

Though not required to purchase cannabis products in the state of California, we encourage all of our members to become medical cannabis patients. As a medical patient, you will enjoy access to our medical only line, serviced by one of our highly knowledgeable consultants. You will also pay lower taxes, have higher purchase and possession limits, and you will have access to a wider variety of products. We’ve outlined this information in the charts below:

Getting Your Medical Recommendation

You have several options to choose from when obtaining your medical cannabis recommendation:

Option #1: Local Physician. If you are considering how medical cannabis can fit in with, or replace your current medications, we highly encourage you to speak with a physician. We’ve put together a list of local doctors who are knowledgeable in both western medicine and cannabis therapies:

Getting Your Medical Marijuana Identification Card (MMIC)

Medical patients who have a state-issued MMIC will be exempt from the state sales tax immediately. If you spend more than $100 per month on medicine, it should pay you to get a state ID card. Under Prop 64, the card fees are capped at $100, and $50 for Medi-Cal patients.

You must apply in person at your county’s program office. For our patients in Berkeley, the Alameda County Public Health Department is located at 1000 Broadway, Suite 310, Oakland, CA 94607. To schedule your appointment, call (510) 268-2977.
